About
In a very special episode of the Claymore and Slappy show, Slappy (Jess Thursday) tells her friend Claymore about her favorite librarian, the famous Eratosthenes of the Library of Alexandria. He was sort of good at so much stuff his friends called him Beta. Slappy can really relate to this.Some references:Bagnell, Roger. 2002. “Alexandria: Library of Dreams.” Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 146 (4) : 348-362 https://www.jstor.org/stable/1558311Carman, Christian Carlos & J.
